[Request] GNB - Blasting Zone/ Danger Zone into Bow Shock or whatever is off CD first

[Judduuk]

I think this would be useful for controller players, to have these 2 abilities condensed to one button like other jobs handle their OGCDs, ofcourse if both are off CD then Bow Shock should take priority based on the balance rotation, this would be useful to allow having the GNB No Mercy > Double Down, Gnashing Fang/Continuation, and the Basic 123 Combo on the same 4 face buttons which will help a ton with movement and wrists.

I did think having blasting zone go into bow shock during no mercy would be a option too as bow shock should always be used during the no mercy window, but i think this would be less flexible on the chances you die during no mercy, or forced unexpected down time.

The current solution that has them on the same button is the continuation feature that you can disable certain combos, the issue with this that we don't see the cooldown of Bow Shock/Blasting Zone with this feature until its off CD and a GCD has been used, so its hard to know when to use.

Thank you once again, appreciate all the hard work ^^

We have similar features for Expiacion and Circle of Scorn, and for Gauss Round and Ricochet (and their confusingly named DT upgrades), so I see no issue with this. I'd probably implement it such that if both are on CD or neither is on CD, no replacement happens, but if one of the two is on CD and the other isn't, the one on CD gets replaced with the other. That lets you select which of the two to prioritize, in case both are available (because whichever you actually place on your bar is the one that gets prioritized), and also ensures you can see the CD of both if both are on your bar somewhere.

Yes I think you are right, having the same functionality to Expiacion and Scorn would be ideal, that way we can better control what OGCD we like to prioritise, This will help a ton, I don't think in terms of optionality, expanded would be more appropriate, i was thinking it could also go under accessibility, but it kinda falls under both, though i cannot see this feature being a dps loss
